Logical Operations is pleased to announce that Transcender, a brand of Kaplan IT Training and a provider of award-winning exam preparation software for IT certification tests, is now recognized as the authorized practice test provider for the Cybersec First Responder (CFR-210) certification.

The CFR-210 exam tests candidates on their ability to detect the latest security threats, respond to them, and stay ahead of new attacks that emerge daily. While other certifications are watered down with a lot of general background information coverage, CFR-210 is comprised of four highly focused domains with a single purpose: proving candidates are ready to defend information systems from attacks and mitigate costly damages.

CFR-210 exam candidates should have at least 2-5 years of experience working in a networking environment as a first responder. Successful candidates will have the knowledge and skills required to effectively detect, identify, and respond to malicious activities involving data systems. Additionally, successful candidates will have the foundational knowledge to deal with a changing threat landscape and will be able to perform root cause analysis, determine scope, accurately report results, and recommend remediation actions.

“Logical Operations is thrilled to see Transcender building products that will help our candidates achieve their CFR-210 certification,” says Joe Mignano, VP of Channels for Logical Operations. “The Transcender product is developed to the highest standards within the test prep space, by practitioners that have spent years guiding candidates through the process of studying and preparing for exams. The CFR-210 Transcender Test Prep is officially recommended and endorsed by Logical Operations for all our exam candidates."

"Transcender has been committed to closing the skills gap in the IT industry for the last 25 years," said Edward Clark, CEO of Kaplan IT Training. “We are proud to receive the endorsement of our partner Logical Operations. CyberSec First Responder allows individuals and IT teams worldwide to validate a cybersecurity professional’s ability to quickly detect and respond to active cyber threats. As an early adopter of CFR exam preparation products, we see this partnership as a further step to grow our constantly expanding cybersecurity products and help qualified candidates get the recognition they deserve."
